This Super Mum, Michelle Buchi Sat For UTME With Her Son As A Challenge And Here’s What Happened!

A proactive Nigerian mum, identified as Michelle Buchi, has revealed the great lengths she went to motivate her son to study hard for his Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.

She was “tired of teaching, instructing and advising on the need for study time creation,” so she decided to do something different to encourage her son to prepare for the examination, which is part of the requirements for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

The super mum decided to register for the JAMB examination in order to compete with his scoreline. Funnily, it made the young man to sit up when he saw his mum reading, browsing for points and sharing ideas with him.

Michelle took to Facebook to disclose that she wrote the examination on Tuesday, May 10, after over a decade of completing her education.

She shared the sacrifices and stress she underwent to prepare for the exam, whilst still running her business and thankfully, it paid off. Her son won the challenge, scoring 243, against her 230. (The minimum acceptable score is 200).

Taking to Facebook, Michelle wrote,

“I wrote JAMB yesterday!
Oh yes! After many years of graduation.
My JAMB examination challenge ended yesterday. I didn’t want to discuss it until I accomplish it
It was a challenge with a son of mine. I was tired of teaching, instructing and advising on the need for study time creation.

Boom! I decided to register for JAMB in order to compete with his score line Funnily, it made the young man to sit up when he saw me reading, browsing for points and sharing ideas with him

As an art student, I had to make efforts to study the latest recommended African/non African literary – novels, plays, poems etc from 2022 – 2025. I must confess, it wasn’t easy. But it was worth it 

Right now, everyone is waiting for JAMB results to be released so that the challenge will be completed. I pray we both cross the margin line successfully because there is a reward attached to the highest JAMB score

I pray he scores higher than me
Subsequently, I will be updating you with stories of my JAMB examination experience. From my fellow JAMB students  to my personal experience.
To be continued !!
All we do God knows!”
